Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| R. H. Denison 1966 | The median length of the dorsal disc is 121-137 mm. in known specimens. The ratio of its maximum width to its median length is .92. The ratio of the greatest width across the anterior part of the disc to that across the postbranchial lobes is .86-.87. The branchial openings are situated about half-way between the midline and the lateral margins of the dorsal disc, and are separated from each other by about 45 mm. The ornament of the dorsal disc consists of rather coarse ridges, but the pattern is not well known. |
